ANNEXATION
Tho time has come now to delib
erate and do some tall thinking
Wo have been told daily that our
islands will soon bo gobbled up and
that we shortly will bo part and
parcel of the United States and wo
have waited with apprehension the
moment when the dire day shall
arrive
Thus speaks the chosen orator of
the American colony in Hawaii on
the natal day of that Great Republic
Territorial acquisition or enlarge
ment is not the American policy
yet we have accepted and shall
oheerfully accept any increase of
our national territory and jurisdic
tion that seems to be natural and is
in accord with tho proper spirit of
national progress and with our na
tional character and institutions
and it is my thought that we may
be in the future compelled by con
siderations of prudence and tho ne
cessities that may arise and affeot
our national position to relax or
modify our somewhat rigid doctrine
in relation to this subject
It may be that in the future tho
people of the United States will Bee
fit to extend the jurisdiction of the
Republic beyond tho present con
tinental shore limits but in any
such case which may ariso this will
only bo done in accordance with the
desire and with the full and free
consent of the communities that
would be affected by the change
The eloquent gentleman who so
beautifully spoke in tho praiso of
his American fellow citizens is a
good specimen of the noble men
who deoline to Jend thomsolres to
the selling of a country by a clique
for personal gain
Praiso God many an American
stands by the orator of tho Fourth
and his sentiments are re echoed by
every one possessing an honost mind
and an American heart
Tho following item from a New
York paper is worth roading
The poor Hawaiians must rub
thoir oyes as thoy road one Repub
lican platform after another and
find not a word about their rights
their heioism their chastity thoir
coming annexation In Massachu
setts there was a mild affirmation
that we should retain our influence
in Hawaii but not a whisper about
annexation But Maino is absolute
ly dumb about the glorious littlo
Republic soon to be a state in tho
American Uuioq This is a vory
Brutus blow as Maine was tho ino3t
fervent and furious champion of
annexation only two short years
ago f the stato of Slophuns and
Blaino and Halo and Boutello has
foraakon the Hawaiian who will
tako them up There is ovidoucq
moreovor that the blow was delib
erate and long preparing Tho Ha
waiiau Gazotto of March 81 publish
ed an extract from a private letter
from Senator Halo in which ho told
his anxious and puzzled correspond
ents that annexation must wait for
a while But are not threo years
a while And if annexation is to
bo left out of this yuara state and
untioual platforms when will it got
in and whore The Hawaiians are
slowly learning tho sad truth that
the Republicans never really carod
a pins worth for them Thoy tem
porarily wore a fiuo theme for pat
riots to roar about but havo been
lost sight of altogether in view of
the much bigger gamo that has
siuco been started
IN THE BALANCE
Tho San Francisco Bulletin per
sistently decried tho Hawaiian mon
archy and Queen Liliuokalani and
her nativo subjects aud had noth
ing but praiso for Stevens Wiltzo
and Dole wheu the revolution of
Jauuary 1893 became a fact Then
it was right for the United States
Minister to Hawaiii and Captain
Wiltze of tho U S S Boston to
overthrow the government of a
friendly powor aud instal Mr Dole
and his orew in powor
Now tho African affair and Cecil
Rhodes in particular aro treated
after the following manner by the
Bulletin to satisfy hatred of Eng
land aud her institutions
The Fnglish are ovidontly not
through with Oom Paul Ho now
calls upon them to try Cecil Rhodes
and his lieutonants on charges of
complicity in the Jameson raid and
offers to supply the British Govern
ment with ovidenco which must
lead to their conviction This places
Mr Chamberlain in an alternative
of no ordinary difficulty Ho must
either call for the ovidouco or de
cline to receive it To pursue tho
latter course would cover England
with odium in the eyes of tho
world President Kruger would of
course publish the evidence and it
would present England in the atti
tude of a moan underhand accomjj
plice of freebooters willing to shield
them from the consequoncos of
their crime The Colonial Secretary
must accept the offer
The Congress of the United States
had all the ovidonco of complicity
of Minister Stevens and Captain
Wiltzo in tho overthrow of tho Ha
waiian monarchy placed boforo it
by President Cleveland and Secre
tary of Stato Gresham aud refused
to right the wrong that had been
done to Hawaii but wo have yot to
read in the Bulletin that America
has been covered with odium in the
eyes of tho world No America is
the land of tho free and the homo
of tho brave and the hope of tho
oppressed of tho earth History will
brand tho notion of the Congress of
America as it doservos to bo
TOPICS OF THE DAY
In 1799 in Now York city on tho
dth July ho following toast was
proposed and responded to Tho
Ministers of the Gospel throughout
tho world May they proaoh for tho
good of tho flock and not for tho
fleoco In Hawaii tho fleece has
had tho most attontiou and on tho
dth July wo celebrate tho capture of
it by force and fraud
The ball at Indopondonco Park

Tho Hawaiian Republican Olub
The Hawaiian Republican Club
has presented to President Dolo tho
following resolutions
Resolved By the Hawaiian Re
publican Club that they regard
with satisfaction tho progress made
by Hawaii at the completion of the
second year of tho Republic While
many patriotic Hawaiians looked
upon the change of Government
with grave solicitude uncertain of
tho effect which might bo produced
on tho people they now realize rea
sons for rojoicing that the change
has boon for the material advance
ment of all They believe that Ha
waii was prepared for Government
by the people Thoy earnestly hope
that misrepresentation will cease in
order that all of the nativo Hawai
ians may candidly adopt the greater
freedom and noble conditions of the
Republic
They congratulate President
Dolo and the Government upon tho
skill and ability displayed in admin
istering the commonwealth and
pray God that ho may have long
life and tho country peace and con
tinued prosperity
They hope and trust that the
Fourth of July the natal day of
Liberty for America may indeed
prove to be the day of a new birth
for Hawaii from which it may grow
into tho highest and truest freedom
